The good news is that I know I'm not alone...

The bad news is that you guys live too far away... or should that be the better news?

The fact that I get that last reference (Dude freakin' died man he-didn't go into a coma!) is sad.

My being here is your tax dollars at work.

Does naming your entire Capitol force after GI Joe make you a loser? (Not their code names, either.  Their names from the file cards.) :)

I was thinking of naming my Free Marines after people here on the forum (once I get them painted that is).

I just know that if I ran a game of Mutant Chronicles, someone would want to play a Free Marine who is immune to CHILL. (The drug they give you to keep you in line)

And JP don't forget  you have reached one the highest levels of geekdom.  You get paid to play UWZ. 

And yojoe.com is way cool.   Now when to get that Tunnel Rat figure  hmm.....

best thing about all the early Joes: Most of their file cards talk about serving in "South East Asia"

Yup, most of 'em are 'Nam vets.   It's the things like that you miss when you're a kid.

I do have the USS Flagg (got it at a garage sale for 5 dollars)

http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/85/ussflagg/

I should bring it to Dreamation and set it up as a board, and have the two forces try and take the conning tower.

It's missing most of the little bits on it, but it's got the full flight deck, the tower, and the elevator.  All I would have to do is make stuff for the inside of the tower. (Ladders and whatnot)

Post by: Anubis31 on November 24, 2005, 11:04:51 AM
Argh,,,,, evil thought...5 buck.. youslime.... I mean lucky bastard.  I have most of the flagg from when I was younger... Just dont have the conning tower... friends mom threw it out by mistake. have all the other parts though.
Title: Re: I just realized...
Post by: Jibbajabbawocky on November 24, 2005, 07:15:42 PM
sweet...  Are you local to North Jersey? if so, I may be interested in buying some of the fiddly bits, since I want to turn it into a board for a Warzone game, maybe at Dreamation.

I just noticed that Keel Haul who came with the Flagg is Admiral Colby...

A coincidence?
Title: Re: I just realized...
Post by: Anubis31 on November 24, 2005, 08:27:13 PM
I do.... well did, The Flagg is in north jersey with a bunch of other bits.....I live in philly now....
Title: Re: I just realized...
Post by: Jibbajabbawocky on November 24, 2005, 09:06:50 PM
I have the Flagg, you have Pat's Steaks.  A fair tradeoff.







WAIT!!!! I WANT CHEESESTEAKS!!  this tradeoff sucks...
